"Humankind can do better and we should do better when it comes to ethics. But we will not do it by declaring that some of us are suited to rule and others are only suited to obey, while at the same time using technology to surveil, oppress, and manipulate humanity into something impossible: a utopian ideal like the unselfish “communist man” of the past century, who was promised but never appeared because he was impossible. We need to acknowledge our limits and gain the benefits of technology that we can, without the hubris of seeking the impossible that we can’t."

Brian Green, director, technology ethics, interviewed by Patheos.com.
